Reinforced Concrete Works in Taunton SW — Engineered RC Construction

Reinforced concrete works are needed wherever a structural concrete element is required: ground beams, pile caps, rafts, retaining walls, structural slabs and basement walls. They suit residential and commercial projects where the RC elements must be engineered for the loads and the ground.

Typical RC projects include ground beams and pile caps, raft foundations, retaining walls, basement walls and structural slabs across residential and commercial builds.

Reinforced concrete (RC) works combine concrete with steel reinforcement to create structural elements that can carry tensile and compressive loads. We handle the full range — RC beams, rafts, walls, slabs and retaining walls — specifying the concrete mix, the reinforcement schedule and the pour sequence for each element. Because the RC work is part of a wider piling and foundation package, it is coordinated by the same team rather than handed to a separate contractor.

We design the RC element — the mix, the reinforcement and the pour sequence. Our team fixes the steel, sets the formwork, and places and finishes the concrete. We coordinate with building control and ensure the element meets the specification.

Reinforced concrete works cost depends on the volume of concrete, the tonnage of steel, the complexity of the formwork, and the element type. The specification and access also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

Why does the reinforcement schedule matter?

The reinforcement schedule specifies the type, size and position of every steel bar in the concrete. Get it wrong and the element will not carry its design loads. We design the schedule in-house and fix the steel ourselves, so the element is built exactly as engineered.
